Chrysler Group LLC’s Dodge Dart, the automaker’s most important new model since its rescue by Fiat SpA, is overcoming snags before the start of production and will have a high-mileage version ready in the third quarter.
Finished Darts will start rolling off the assembly line May 3, said George Welitschinsky, president of United Auto Workers Local 1268 in Belvidere, Illinois. Sergio Marchionne, Chrysler and Fiat’s chief executive officer, alluded to an issue with an unspecified part last week on a conference call with analysts. He had previously said production would begin in early April.
